Quick qns,
Anyone had done bucket seats on Da9? do we need to custom the seat rails or can we get other model seat rails?
Thanks
u need custom rails, or..can get them from bride...300 buck though...i got one for driver side and passenger just custom made...
ive removed and fitted a alternator to a da9 before not a hard job just awkward just dnt follow the instructions in the workshop manual its bs and takes to long... they rekon to remove it from the bottom of the car all u do is take out ur charcoal canister and it will come out through the top
bucket seats in a da rnt the most comfy things in the world
i took mine out a couple months ago... replaced them with prelude seats
got the rails lying around here sumwhere
what rails? will they fit any seats?
BTW the bride rails for DA only fit side mount seats...meaning ones u fit on the side plates then on the rails...so the tradition recaros for dc2/5 won't fit
because i have a pair of original DC2 type R recaros with me now... if i custom the rails... can the recaros fit onto a DA?Quote:

EG/DC camber kit will fit...
maybe u can custom those rails to fit..but would be a waist of money...u mite as well get someone to do some custom rails for u then or mod ur stock rails to fit....
You said that i have to change the clutch padel as well... can i use the JDM DC2R clutch pedal?! how about brackets and mounts? do i need to to modify the brackets and mounts or can i straight fit?!Quote:

Hit me up with Any info.
Cheers.
heya guys, just a technical engine and transmission question i dunno if anyone could answer this but could i use my b18a1 gearbox with a b18c2 long motor? hit me back boys/girls thanks man :)
yes you can. but you may want to upgrade your clutch depending on the type of driving you do..
The gear ratios aren't ideal though..
yeah the DA gear ratio suck big time...specially on track!..if u stick to same box..suggest u get different final gear
ok thanks fellas xD might aswell move from b18a to b18c2 cause b16a's are crappy. i like my torque so maybe thats a better way to go.
Hey,
Battery corrosion on positive terminal cant get rid of surely other people hear have had the same problem on this model ? Any ideas Ive got new terminals, corrasion pads, vaseline, cut down and soldered the wires for tight for a good fit. But it keeps comming back i need a fix...
change the adapter head for the terminals pick it up at any car auto spares :)Quote:

Heya Peeps
Just wondering...
Ive been saving some dosh to respray my da...
its currently maroon..(custom faded)
Im wanting to change the colour, I was thinking either DC2R Red.... possibly something more of a deep blood red...
or go cali style with a olive type metallic seen on 2000 model fords..
watya think?
Im open 2 suggestions aswell.
ohh should i spray the moulds and the lip or leave em?
and any difference in 92 model rear bar and 93??
all help and input will help
Cheers Will
spray it the blue thats on the DA thats a few pages back with the CD5 accord lip...thats a nice smooth colour. thats what id do anyways..but if you like that colour man go fot it!! maybe get someone to photo shop it onto your car...and the 92-93 rear lips different to the 90-91 i presume. think 1 of the differences is that theres that cut out for the exhaust in the 92-93 one.
definatly color code the moulds!Quote:

if your paint is just faded, i would get a similar color, much easier and i think cheaper.. and plus, the maroon color/reds are hot.
yeh im doin mine two tone top half from windows up black and rest maroon
shit hot! 2 tone! That's what I want to do. Top black+ boot lid and bonnet, bottom half type r red!
well ive lost my licence so thinking of wrecking my da as a whole it runs and has 17xxxxks on the motor 245 xxx on chassis alot of new parts on the motor
ie water pump, distrubtor, leads, driveshafts/cv joints, alternator and more
edit: sorry not parting out
More info? Year? Colour? Location?
Quick check... does anyone have any idea how heavy does a Da9 Weighs?!
isnt the DA roughly around 1100kg since thats the tare on the vic rego sticker correct me if im wrong though
anyone in melbourne got a stock DA9 cat back + stock cat that i can borrow for a day ??? need it pretty urgent
1122kg according to the manualQuote:

nope. not without mod this is
huh??
what part of it??
the 90-91 lip wont fit the 92-93. as far as i know one of them is longer, cant memba which.
so dont bother. get the right one
Anyone selling lowered springs for a Da9? :D
ebay us is like 20 bucks if you want ill buy them and sell em to you? ive noticed alot of people dont like buying things from other countries on ebay though they will buy things from the other side of the country which doesnt make sense u cant drive there in a day and ur basicly trusting that the product is comming weather it be from next door or the other side of the world....
theres alot on there for da9s coz they like these cars...
can replicka spoon mirrors from an EG fit a DA
Yes spoon mirrors can fit, & have been done....
OEM look better & flow with the body lines more imo though.
+ more than likely you'll lose your power mirrors when fitting most spoon mirrors.
Hi guys... did anyone here have place a strut bar or underbrace for their car?
Can Eg Strut bar and under brace fit on a DA?
get EF one...fits better..but custom fit means u have to drill holes..EKVTIR and i did it...took a while...Quote:

So that means adjustable mount bracket EG Strut bar can fit into a DA? Thanks...Quote:

BTW anyone here had changed into a aftermarket brake kit? Cos i'm planning to change my entire brake kit. The disc Rotars i'm pretty sure that stock is 262mm, can i change it to 282mm? what kinda of calipers can i use?! because i need to consider the space between the rim and calipers and if the calipers are too huge it might hit the rims... the current rims i'm using is 4x100... any idea guys?
Thanks a million!

im running 5 stuck converstion from dc2r...with old DA staying with current 4x100 i got 282mm disc with spoon caliper but u need to get the offset of the rotor rite..and thats a paint in the ass to measure..i use to only put spacer behind the rotor..which is very unsafe and won't suggest..coz my wheel came once...alotta ppl in the stats use nsx calipers..but mite be bit hard to source here...if u use oem calipers...as in like dc2 or prelude or nsx caliper..u can still use 15" rims..it'll still clr...but dun think u can use 14"
does anyone know if the dc2 type r spoiler fit the DA, the sorta wrx/supra looking spoiler? and wat mods are needed? thanks
5 stuck? u mean 5 nuts/lugs? COOL!!!Quote:

I dun really wanna use OEM... so that means i can use what u've mentioned earlier...
I'm just worried that if i use 282mm rotars and bigger calipers will not fit the rims that i've already had which is running 4x100 with an offset of 40... Hence, i'm havin a headache of what brakekits to use...
Sighhhhhh
yeah i mean 5 studs...Quote:

as long as u get anythng that 282mm even.... to my knowledge that like dc2r(thats wot i did) or accord ...not sure about vtir...
u r talking about the mugen Version2 wing..dunno..but stock dc2r wing dun fit..they are too short...looks weird on our car..i triedQuote:

I saw recent thread about heat ranges etc, this is a daily driver, and although I dont VTEC Yo as much right now (trying to save fuel costs) want a plug that suits this engine. (brand and plug code)
Would prefer somewhere around the Hills area, or a reliable post supplier (even ebay as long as they are not located in Nigeria haha)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tseesinn
take the old plugs out and replace them with factory honda sparkplugs... ive seen dyno readings where puttin different plugs in from factory can loose power... and as long as there gapped properly with factory plugs you shouldnt have a problem remember ALL of u if it aint broken dont fix it....
having said that just change them or have them changed at every service interval and you should be fine...
if your ignition is factory then dont bother those coils rnt the best so just make sure the gap is right... the only advantage with irridium plugs... (ngk do them i think) is you dnt have to change them as much... its all bout how much money you wana spend... you wont gain hp from it... or fuel ecconmy either..unless the plugs in atm r missing....
having said that its not alot of power lose its only a few hp...
but every bit helps especially with little engines... like ours
has anyone done any new cool mod to there da tegs yet???
DA9B18C - Are you rocking your lip yet? Pics or ban!
Thanks A-Man, i wanted the Irridiums due to lasting longer, and want to do some testing to see if there is any difference anyway, Cheers, Chris
ive got NGK iridium in my b16.. although im not too sure on the model #...
I changed to the NGK iridium for the nitrous setup.
NGK Iridium for DA's
b18a - BCPR5EIX-11
b16a - BKR6EIX-11
nah, no time yet. will probably get ek skirts and cd5 rear first then do it all at ounce. need my mounts fixed first! they are rooted!! ones broken and the two torque mounts are stressed! mega vibration throuh the firewall.Quote:

just sikaflex them up thats all mine r and there solid and i garentee u wont ever break them again... downside is its a little (hardly noticeable) harder
its cheaper then gettin new mounts u will break again or gettin special tricked ones coz there essentialy have the same downside
hey guys, my mate has a da9 and he is having trouble with his temperature, it goes too hot, no leaks or anything like that, i'm thinking something as small as thermostat or maybe even water pump, whats everyone's thoughts?
Is the radiator actually running too hot or just the gauge?
Thermostat replacement is always a good start.Try to use a genuine honda one too.
Is the coolant level ok?
Not boiling?
i havnt looked at it myself so i'm just going off what he told me also he broke his electric window switch and its stuck down so i need that part for him, but back to the heat issue, he says when he pulls up at the lights it runs real hot, then when he gives it to it, it cools down, so that would definately be a bung thermostat wouldnt it?
nah could b low coolant
but could b thermostat aswell because the sender for the water temp is before the thermostat and there would b a mass change in temp....
there cheap and easy to change anyways....
has anyone changed an antenna yet??? and where did u get the parts from coz the local autoshop didnt sell em.. and im not keen on honda coz of price.. any help????
anyone fixed the leak on the drivers and passenger side windscreen????
Hi Guys,
i just got myself to a set of front and rear camber kit but its from the US for USDM DAs.
I remember some1 from this thread said that our car's camber kit, we could use EG or DC ones. but since now i got hold of a set of camber kits for DA just wondering if the one i've got will fit our car even thou its meant for Acura DAs (USDM)?
got another question guys, when his ls is in park it has fuel spikes regurlarly, a jump up and down is constant in revs. e says it only happens when he hasnt got much fuel, what you guys think??
acura and honda have the same blueprint for the cars as long as they are the same model. should fit fine with no problemsQuote:

You can go in g2ic.com to comfirm which ones can be used. or you can just get ones specific for the DA. These are 'Skunk2', and the discontinued 'D2' (yes the coilover brand).
a bit of a noob question coz i dont exactly kno what this is called, but im talkin about the holes 4 the bolts on the rims. What is the hole displacement needed 4 rims 2 fit vtir/gsi integras? (eg. 4x100 pcd)
4x100
its called pcd for ur own interest
hey, were in melb can i get my vafc2 tuned with b18c, I/H/E, spoon p28 ecu? do modproject do it? i know they have no dyno but surely they can get it done.
has anyone played around with changing aircon condensors? on a da9 because i have to change mine... its in the way of the turbo manifold.. can any one shed some light on what can be done that would b great...
i was looking at a civic one because im using a civic radiator... the reason for the smaller radiator is to fit the manifold and the intercooler piping with out cutting the front.... it should b alrite
anyone????
as for the tuning thing maybe see whats around the yellow pages is a good spot to check
Interesting idea^ all B-series have the same air-con condenser size as far as I know, and the D is too similar to make the hassle of fitting it in worthwhile. Anyone know if a Jazz or any small modern Honda is smaller? surely cant be that hard to make up a bracket to mount it up to the B block in the right place.
